The fight took place at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

The fight provided one of the night’s best finishes and was under consideration for the WEC’s usual fight-night bonuses.

Godfrey, a 27-year-old South Dakotan, posted an eight-fight win streak in organizations throughout the Dakotas to earn his way into the WEC. Earlier this year at WEC 46, he made his promotional debut and dropped a unanimous decision to notable Wagnney Fabiano. Heading into WEC 52, Godfrey never had been stopped in pro competition.

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old McDonald was riding a streak of three-straight knockout wins over Cole Escovedo, Manny Tapia and Carlos Garces. In his previous outing, the Modesto, Calif. native claimed the Tachi Palace Fights bantamweight title in July while avenging his lone career defeat with a brutal win over Escovedo.
